Big Ears is showing the way to the British monarchy of the future – in which the Old Values are re-established. Which being interpreted means that Modesty, Thrift and Self-sufficiency are for the plebs; and Conspicuous Consumption returns for the wayward Windsors. Royal trains, royal flights and liveried flunkies are so much nicer, dontchya know?
His mother chooses to travel in less style but he’ll obviously have no truck with that. I can’t wait for his accession, can you?

I do not mind coughing up the 53p per head per year it costs to fund the Royal Family, even for the well-meaning duffers like Wing Nuts. It would help the Monarchy a lot if the succession skipped a generation, though! 🙂
Janus, Good Evening.
Never been a total fan of the Duke of Rothesay myself. I do believe that, if we had a choice in the Siuccession, the Princess Royal would be the best candidate for the job when Her Majesty leaves us bereft and grieving.
But we don’t and he will be probably be my next King. And approximately 50 millions times better a person and human being than the scumbag Murdoch or any of the knuckle-dragging, envious,embittered and twisted Republican wastes of space in his Empire or their fellow travellers who suck up to him by dredging up yet another specious reason to attack those cherished institutions which have served us so well over so many centuries..
He’s still
Anyone is better than the likes of Blair, Brown and Cameron!
John: very well put. I agree with you wholeheartedly on the point of the Princess Royal being a better choice to succeed her majesty and that even the Duke of Rothesay, despite his foibles, is better than anything a republic could produce.
CO: Obama, Hollande?
Sheona, you didn’t read my link then? 🙂
Other cherished monarchists, you are making the logical error of assuming the only alternative to Big Ears is another pampered prat.
Do you mean the “pampered prat” currently working as an air-sea rescue pilot?
Sheona. I think J might prefer a Barry O’Barmy lookalike for a head of state. Not for me, thanks very much.
J: Your link comes from the portals of that great monarchist, Rupert Murdoch!
